Factorization conjecture for two-component skew diagrams

Let bbigmubbig mu be a rectangular partition, and let bbiglambdaeq\remotebbig lambda eq\remote be a partition containing bbigmubbig mu such that the skew diagram bbiglambda/bbigmubbig lambda/bbig mu has two connected components, represented by partitions bbigphibbig phi and bbigpsibbig psi. Let bbignubbig nu satisfy

cμ,νλ=1.c^\lambda_{\mu,\nu}=1.

Write gbbigλbbigmu,bbignug^bbig \lambda_{bbig mu,bbig nu} and gbbignubbigϕ,bbigψg^bbig nu_{bbig \phi,bbig \psi} for the associated Jack gg-polynomials, and let cbbigpi,sc_{bbig pi,s} and cbbigpi,sc'_{bbig pi,s} be the two hook factors.

Two-component factorization conjecture. The ratio

gμ,νλgϕ,ψν=sμcλ,scμ,s\frac{g^\lambda_{\mu,\nu}}{g^\nu_{\phi,\psi}}=\prod_{s\in\mu}c^*_{\lambda,s}c^*_{\mu,s}

d decomposes into linear factors compatibly with the factorizability conjecture, where for bbigpi=bbigλ,bbigmubbig pi=bbig \lambda,bbig mu and s\inbbigmus\inbbig mu, either cbbigpi,s=cbbigpi,sc^*_{bbig pi,s}=c_{bbig pi,s} or cbbigpi,s=cbbigpi,sc^*_{bbig pi,s}=c'_{bbig pi,s}, and each choice occurs bbigmu|bbig mu| times in total.

This is a proposed special-case factorization extending the general conjecture to a ratio associated with two connected components. It is not established in the source and remains open.
